English term or phrase: Princess Prawns from Empire Szechwan.
After Jack turns his key in the lock and pushes open the apartment door, he pauses, and I know he is holding his head up, sniffing to see if the air is redolent of tarragon and thyme, a reduction of butter and white wine, the tang of lemon zest. Or, once again, of Princess Prawns from Empire Szechwan.

Explanation:
The dish is called Princess Prawns and it has been delivered by the Empire Szechuan restaurant.

This is my guess as the name of the dish and of the restaurant are both capitalised.
